completed each assignment without issue.
Student
Accomplishments:
Prepared hundreds of cards/envelopes mailed to prospective attendees of our
summit (terribly boring work, but necessary.)
Learned our Content Management System very quickly. Edits and posts articles
into the CMS. This allowed us to assign a new site to her with minimal training.
This involves using the online AP Stylebook and instant messenger to
communicate with our editors (several remote.)
I was able to train Mariah to process inbound advertising prospects to handle
them while I was on vacation. She completed the tasks with no issues.
Mariah has written a promotional email and is currently sending them out to
generate summit attendees.
She is generating a list of potential advertisers and competing media as we
prepare for a new site.
Academic Training: Her writing skills are excellent and hopefully reflect good classroom instruction.
We haven't been able to take advantage of her Photoshop classes, but are
looking for opportunities for this.
Her marketing skills are seen in the writing of promotional emails.
Mariah's ability to quickly take on a task could be related to taking on new
classes and completing assignments.
Internship Training: Our Senior Food Editor trained Mariah on the Content Management System (used
for editing and posting articles.)
I trained her on our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) database -
entering/editing contacts.
I had Media Radar complete a webinar to explain the methods of using their
software.
I showed her our contact search databases and what information to pull from
them.
